Related to Bump topics for whispers on staff topic lists
When someone whispers on a post, it does get bumped, but only until page refresh, when it returns to the last public time.
Example of a post with a whisper in Latest:
And after page refresh, it’s gone:
Since I use Latest as my main method for browsing, I’ve taken to using open in new tab for all posts, to avoid a refresh that will drop the whispers. But it seems to me that if the bump works once, it’s probably a bug that it doesn’t stay there? I’m not sure why you’d bump it once and then intentionally drop it.
